In this second book. The author tells a process of accepting herself as she is and how to love herself more. The acceptance of herself and the fact that everything needs a process is told in her second book. Sebagai seorang yang pernah menjalani sesi konseling, sungguh aku mengerti bahwa proses penyembuhan gangguan mental tidak semudah yang dibayangkan. Pasti ada naik-turunnya. Pasti ada masa-masa ingin menyerah. Dan, proses tiap orang tidaklah sama. Ada yang bisa menyelesaikan masalahnya dengan mudah dan cepat, ada yang membutuhkan waktu yang lebih lama.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKPOKKI by Baek Se-hee, a memoir/self-help book. I finished reading this book tonight, and while it wasn't what I expected, there were things about it that I enjoyed. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?

I wonder about others like me, who seem totally fine on the outside but are rotting on the inside, where the rot is this vague state of being not-fine and not-devastated at the same time.” Saya juga sangat mengapresiasi prakata dari Dr. Jiemi Ardian bahwa self-diagnosed itu tidak dianjurkan karena sangat mudah sekali bagi seseorang untuk melabeli kondisinya setelah membaca buku seperti ini. If you're curious about what my coworkers think about on a daily basis with their weak ass sugary mix coffee, here it is. Catatan teknis: Halaman warna pink (atau ungu?) nggak nyaman banget dibaca. Apalagi yang full begitu huhu. Dan kadang banyak spasi renggang (mungkin karena tipe dialog, beberapa kata yang nggak dipenggal bikin renggangnya jadi nggak nyaman dibaca). Selain itu, masih menemukan "rubah" di buku ini, haha. Oiya, aku suka dengan humor sederhana yang ada di buku ini. Misalnya: "Terima kasih. Satu hal lagi, (Terus bicara walau aku bilang sudah tidak ada lagi yang bisa kukatakan.)" Sungguh jadi warna sendiri ketika membacanya.

America is far past this surface-leveled interest of wellness since our Woody Allen women who all went to shrinks and even our YoutubeBetterHelpsponsoredGetYour10%Off! ads and the overall millenial movement of Canva-concocted pastel infographs that parrot pretty nothings. It’s hard, it’s a long game, and although probably life changing, it doesn’t feel like it at the time. This one won’t give you a lightbulb moment, but it might make you feel very heard and a lil warm.Meskipun buku ini tidak memberikan tips survive atau cara sembuh dari gangguan mental. Namun, penulis mampu memberi pemahaman bahwa pentingnya kesadaran dan upayah untuk berobat ke Ahlinya. Alih2 memberi cara yg belum tentu berhasil ditiap individu. Above all, my biggest take away from her story is how important it is to speak to people about how you’re feeling. I’ve always been a firm believer in sharing your thoughts and emotions with people you trust. Even though thoughts themselves have no weight, they can be a heavy burden. Sharing that burden with someone else, someone you trust and perhaps love, can not only lighten that burden, but it can also create a strong bond between you and that trusted person.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone and would instead plug Stephanie Foo's What My Bones Know as a self-help-memoir written by an East Asian woman that has therapy transcripts and says something new. The literal Ctrl+C of the discussions you have with your psychiatrist do not hold any literary merit, which surprises me and puts into question the validity of creative writing courses in Korea. Did 언니 learn nothing?

About the contributors

The internationally bestselling therapy memoir translated by International Booker Prize shortlisted Anton Hur.

Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. Recommended to fans of medical memoir, mental health self-help; readers interested in psychology, psychiatry; readers seeking diverse voices i get why therapists might review this and rate it low, but as someone who just wanted to be a fly on the wall and absorb this book for what it is (a transcript of client/therapist conversations), i really did enjoy it. i won't be following the advice to a t, but i did think it was very interesting to see how different the culture is in Korea versus America and how the author's insecurities and societal pressures differ from--or are similar to-- mine. it was inspirational to see how i could advocate for myself/my experiences, and i thought the nuance was interesting that depression doesn't always mean being suicidal and it can manifest in other ugly ways. the fact that this was a hard story for this author to tell probably proves why it should exist, especially in its native country/language. Emosi penulis kian kecamuk kadang tegang kadang cool. Jadi, Doktor sarankan untuk dirawat di wad. Aku tertarik dengan terapi cara 'Psiko-drama'. Teknik yang diterangkan dalam ni mungkin ramai tanpa sengaja pernah lakukan. Ternyata itu juga termasuk teknik rawatan masalah ini.

Need Help?

the title grabbed me instantly and when i heard namjoon read it, i added it to my tbr immediately. i've never felt more seen reading a book. This is all about Baek’s mental health, which was timed perfectly with a lil blip of my own. Baek suffers from depression, but specifically persistent mild depression. As someone who feels simply ✨hollow✨ rather than having, say, violent feelings and suicidal desire, this book absolutely got it.
